'The Turbulence of Migration is an exciting and comprehensive
rendition of the role and impact of migration in contemporary
societies. Drawing on a range of theories and disciplines, it
unpacks existing accounts of migration processes and suggests new
ways of looking at the range of phenomena that make up the "endless
motion" of migration that shapes our everyday experiences. Nikos
Papastergiadis reveals himself to be one of the most important
scholars in this field.' John Solomos, South Bank University,
London

'This volume is important for two reasons. First, it challenges
the social sciences to adopt a more functional and dynamic view of
culture and the "social" such that difference and culture are
incorporated outside of traditional bounded unit classifications.
Second, the author has presented a coherent argument for
understanding migration as a process that stems from global
turbulence in politics, economics and social relations. This volume
would make an excellent addition to upper-year undergraduate and
gradute papers in disciplines such as sociology, anthropology and
geography.' David Timothy Duval, Sociological Research
Online

'The volume's greatest strength is its review and critique of
cultural theorists ... It is a provocative volume that attempts to
shift the paradigms through which traditional social science views
migration by introducing new strands of scholarship.'
International Migration

'Papastergiadis spells out the consequences for multiculturalist
policy and theory ... [His] intentions are grand: to revolutionize
migration theory and to place post-colonial theory at the heart of
a new social science of modernity.' Race and
Class

'Impressive in its multidiscipinary scope, this book draws
together a wide range of work and makes revealing juxtapositions
between different fields.' Progress in Human
Geography

'The Turbulence of Migration is an impressive tour de
force ... an exceptionally valuable book for those who want a
sophisticated, intelligent and critical primer in postmodern
theories of globalization, migration and cultural interaction.'
